At least you didn't choke, the last ball had a chance. I have a friend who bowled a 291. Only one way to do that. Collar was getting a bit tight I suspect.

From the link: "Thermal solar, also known as concentrating solar, generates electricity by focusing solar rays to transform a fluid into steam. That steam then turns a turbine to power a generator. These installations can kill birds. Some concentrated solar installations arrange a huge number of mirrors that point to a central tower, and the concentrated solar towers create an incredibly high-heat area that’s dangerous for anything to touch. What's worse, the light beam and surrounding mirrors actually attract birds and the insects they like to eat. The potential harm of this solar power method can be seen at the Ivanpah concentrated solar tower in California. In 2015, Ivanpah killed about seven birds per gigawatt hour of electricity produced...By comparison, the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels are estimated to kill only one bird per gigawatt hour. Because of this, Audubon opposes any further construction of concentrated solar towers." Re the lake it affect it simply states: "Some developers are adding special patterns to their panels or using other strategies to reduce the risk of crash landings." The benefits outlined in the article are more in the realm of what is done in conjunction with the placement of the panels (planting native plant species around the solar farms for instance) and solar being less disruptive than fossil fuels than any real benefit the panels themselves provide. Back to the OP's question, not saying it is a horrible idea, just that you can't put up a thousand acres of solar panels, say look at this great thing we've done, and call it a day. Rochester does not need another fast ferry.

Well, I can think of a couple issues right off the bat. As you well know I'm sure, Rochester isn't exactly the sunniest place in the country. On average 165 sunny days a year compared to the national average of 205. Why not choose somewhere that has more than average sunshine? Also, solar panel farms can be mistaken for a body of water, not unlike Boise State's football field. Unlike Boise State and actual bodies of water however, some birds require a running start to get airborne, which they can't get on solar panels, leaving them to starve. Finally, it just seems to me like this type of area might be harder to protect from acts of terrorism than traditional power sources. But hey, I'm sure there are positives.

Buffalo Barbarian 's Final Mock

I have this recurring nightmare that Sweat falls to the Patriots because of the heart then sacks Allen 6 times a year. -

How many men does it take to do the dishes? None, it's women's work How many men does it take to change a light bulb? None, if your wife can't change it herself she can do the dishes in the dark.

While I agree with everything you say, the rest of the world has earned the right to play the USA's best in basketball as it became clear that our amateurs were not capable of consistently defeating other countries' professionals.

Rob Gronkowski Dents Lombardi Trophy with Bunt

If that had happened, the video would have gone viral. And karma for his hit on Tre White would be complete. -

Whatever Happened To Mike Quick?
Steve O replied to BillyWhiteShows's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was talking about trades to move up. Stood pat for Maybin. Well, RGIII went #2 that year, Tannehill #8 - I'm sure Washington and Miami want a redo. Trent Richardson went 3 and Justin Blackman #5 so yeah, clearly a top 5 pick. -
Whatever Happened To Mike Quick?

re TJ Grahm - saw a special about Wilson where they showed the Seattle war room in 2012 before their third round pick. They knew they no chance to get Wilson once the Bills traded ahead of them in the third. Then they showed the announcement of the Bills pick. Big sigh of relief in the war room. Make sure you don't have anything close buy that can be thrown through your TV if you ever see the special. Re Watkins - I wanted the Bills to stand pat and pick Aaron Donald with that pick. They also could have had Mack with the pick they traded up to Re Jones - Ever the optimist, I'm hoping the book is still out. Moulds didn't pan out until his third year. we'll see.
